Not so Hot- Using only flowers as centerpieces. Mix it up and fill vases with seasonal appropriate items, such as pine cones or apples in the fall. Or, don’t use vases at all. Style Me Pretty has tons of DIY (Do It Yourself) projects.
Hot- Mix and match colors, fabrics, and styles for bridesmaid dresses.
Not so Hot- Purples, plums, and eggplants. These colors have been so overused the past two years. Try to mix colors that you wouldn’t normally think go together and you might be surprised.
Hot- Use a wedding planner. Sometimes they can save you money, but will ALWAYS save you from headache.
Not so Hot- Wedding favors. Favors often take up a lot of room on the table and get either thrown away or thrown aside. They can also add hundreds of dollars to your budget. If you are going to have wedding favors, make sure it is meaningful and adds to your decor, otherwise, just skip it and save money at the same time!
